Good evening,
My first post here. Found you guys on my research travels and have read a lot of info here, super cool work from amirm.
So, i'm looking to purchase something to get away from my desktop motherboard sound. Inexpensive dac/amp around £100 / $130.
Something that has low headphone output impedance as i'm using 32ohm, and 16ohm headphones, and some IEM. Also would like to output to some active speakers sat on my desk.
I was all set on the fulla 2, as this seems to have the features I need, but kinda put off by the review from amirm. Then I looked at the fiio e10k but for some reason it outputs both speakers and headphones simultaneously. Kinda annoying having to turn on/off the active speakers etc. - Maybe at my price range this is still the best option. But then after some more scouting on the forum I had the idea of a portable unit such as a topping NX4, or fiio q1 mark ii, but then they don't have the speaker requirement as far as I can see.
The smsl ad18 or sabaj A4 looked very promising but both has a high headphone impedance (10ohm), I am under the impression it should be 8 times lower than ohms of headphones used..
Anything else I should be looking at guys?
Many thanks
